· Please note honed marble has a matt appearance compared to polished marble. No two slabs are alike and will each mark and etch differently. · Spilled liquids can leave a permanent mark. Spills and ring marks should be wiped off immediately. · Protect your marble from hot, wet or abrasive objects by using coasters, trivets and placemats. Protect from acidic substances like wine, coffee, fruit juice, tomato sauce and nail polish remover. · Blot spills immediately and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. · Dust frequently with a clean, soft cloth to minimise scratches and wear patterns that can develop from everyday use. · Clean your marble top on a regular basis with a clean, non-abrasive cloth, sponge, or mop, dampened with warm water. In addition, using a neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone will help remove soils that normal dusting or damp mopping leave behind. · Do not use general purpose cleaners, furniture polish or products that contain bleach, lemon, vinegar, or other acids, as these may etch the marble surface or damage the polish. · Do not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface.
